Getting Paid: Technology Enables Credit Card Processing For Personal Services
While credit card processing systems are ubiquitous in retail settings, they are not as widespread in the personal services industry. This is changing as new technology is making credit card processing by professionals who have an office in their home, or who travel from site to site, more practical. Leap Payments offers a variety of solutions that make accepting credit card payments easy for providers of personal services.
